Well, like Warren Buffet says, there are only a few sectors I understand…its possible the tech savvy folks in Seattle don’t understand real estate investments that well.

On a related note, you can see this video

Its by Peter Vekselman, a real estate investor in my network, who explains how Real Estate Agents can benefit by working with Real Estate Investors in the current economy where investors are more active than retail buyers.

I am amazed at how many companies want to offer me first page on Google each week! I get calls and emails regularly.

My own take is that there is a mini-bubble building in the SEO world with so-called experts trying to win your business.

Separately, I was thinking lately of how I rarely get a auto-generated home feedback email now. I am guessing that while all these companies want to offer services to Realtors, the Realtors are realizing that home values are much lower now, commissions will be much lower now, and we will have to do more deals than ever.

So, we are pulling way back on the extra technologies and tools that don’t really matter anyway.

Love how ZipRealty tried to insert themselves into the story through the comments.

Remind me, what part of Seattle does Zip hail from? And what “continuous innovation” are they adding to the equation?

Me too! Me too!
